Reviewing some of the major developments in cultural anthropology over the last thirty years, this article discusses the implications of these developments for the study of higher education. The article argues that one of the most fruitful directions in anthropological work comes from the efforts to combine neo-Marxist theory with forms of poststructuralism so that the relationship between history, political economy, signification and forms of subjectivity can be explored.
